Letters PatentNo. 49.3,854,dated August 17,1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN HOT-WATER BQILERS POR STOVES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making-part of the same.

By means of theear or lug A, the boiler is fastenedA to the top ofthe stove with a bolt, or bya hook-hinge, in such aposition that it'may rest over one of the openings on the back of the stove, or be swung back, occupying the position .shown by the dotted lines at D, where it will be out of the way when the stoveopening is in other use, but -will still rest on the edge of the stove enough to retain its heat. o

The boiler may be made entirely of cast iron, which will be the cheapest, and can be galvanizedor enamelled also, but this is not necessary, or it may be made of sheet-metal, in which case the bottoni should be a cast-iron plate, with the ear at one edge, qand galvanf ized, so that the body may be soldered to it.

rlhe object Of'my invention is to provide avessel more capacious than the ordinary stove-kettle now used with all square-top stoves, and so cheap that it will` bein the means of the masses of the community to purchase, who could not afford to get a reservoir and extensionLtop stove, and also to provide for attaohingit to any stove, without reference to construction of the top, so that it can be put on any stove now in use, on which the ordinary reservoirs would not lit.

The boiler may also be, easily detached Afrom the back part of the stove, and' placed over the forward opening, and used there at special times, for culinary purposes, being well adapted, from its shape and size, for a ham-boiler.

I believe that it meets a want which has long existed,

for a boiler, which, while much. more capacious and convenient than a kettle, is more universally adapted and much cheaper made than a reservoir.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure A boiler, provided with a Aperforated ear, lug, or

hook-hinge, in such a'manner that it can be attached tothe back part of the top of a stove, for heating water, or can be easily detached and usedon the front of the stove for a'ham-boiler, or other culinary use, as shown, and for `the purposes speoied.
